Well, when you sand metal you need to use a flat block to keep the paper flat. If you use your finger, you create small depressions in the surface.

Did they mill the head to true it up??

google 'supra ishino head gasket set'.
You'll get many sites that sell them, free 2 day shipping. approx $150 for the whole set. Ishino was factory OEM, but the new sets are improved sealing than original.

You need to borrow a mechanics straight edge to check the block for flatness (per TSRM).
